AceShowbiz - Teyana Taylor is now a mom, and of all places, she gave birth in the bathroom. In an Instagram post, the singer recounted how she did not expect an early delivery on Wednesday, December 16 and how her fiance Iman Shumpert played doctor during the emergency situation.
"On Dec 16th at 6:42am in our bathroom Junie decided she wanted to take her first breath into this world," Teyana captioned a photo of her baby girl. "She came out as a wonderful surprise to everyone! Not knowing I was in labor until I felt her head...it took two ten count pushes with my fiance playing Dr and she entered this world into his bare hands!"
She continued, "Eyes full of tears and barely able to speak to the emergency operator @imanshumpert tied a pair of red headphones around the umbilical cord and the ambulance made there grand entrance 5 min later. She opened her eyes right away, gazed into mine and never cried! He handed her to me wrapped in our bath towel and wiped her face for me to see what LOVE really is."
Taylor was only 35 weeks and 4 days into the pregnancy and the baby was originally due January 16, 2016. "She has blown Christmas away! Our family is complete. Her blueprint will be unmatched. Welcome Iman Tayla Shumpert Jr. Mommy carried you. Daddy delivered you. #MeetTheParents we love you baby girl," Teyana ended her post.
The baby, according to E! Online's source, weighed 6lbs. 7oz. and 19.5 inches at birth. This is Taylor and Shumpert's first child together. He proposed to her during a baby shower, shortly after announcing the pregnancy in September.
